Coefficient of Permeability given Quantity of Seepage in Length of Dam Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Coefficient of Permeability of Soil = (Discharge from Dam*Equipotential Lines)/(Number of Beds*Loss of Head*Length of Dam)
k = (Q_t*N)/(B*H_L*L)
This formula uses 6 Variables

Variables Used

Coefficient of Permeability of Soil - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Coefficient of Permeability of Soil describes how easily a liquid will move through the soil.
Discharge from Dam - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge from Dam is the volumetric flow rate of water that is transported through a given cross-sectional area. It includes any suspended solids, dissolved chemicals, or biologic material.
Equipotential Lines - Equipotential Lines is defined as the number of lines with same potential drop.
Number of Beds - The Number of Beds is defined as the number of beds between each of the same potential drops.
Loss of Head - (Measured in Meter) - The Loss of head due to sudden enlargement turbulent eddies are formed at the corner of the enlargement of the pipe section.
Length of Dam - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Dam is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge from Dam: 0.46 Cubic Meter per Second --> 0.46 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Equipotential Lines: 4 --> No Conversion Required
Number of Beds: 2 --> No Conversion Required
Loss of Head: 6.6 Meter --> 6.6 Meter No Conversion Required
Length of Dam: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

k = (Q_t*N)/(B*H_L*L) --> (0.46*4)/(2*6.6*3)

Evaluating ... ...

k = 0.0464646464646465

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0464646464646465 Meter per Second -->4.64646464646465 Centimeter per Second (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

4.64646464646465 ≈ 4.646465 Centimeter per Second <-- Coefficient of Permeability of Soil
